Yasunao Tone - Solo for Wounded CD

glitch/noise music made by scratching a cd, in the same way a dj would scratch a record. cuts, pops, and retriggers, along with the noisy sound of the data being transfered, create a very interesting electronic atmosphere, as long as you are not easily annoyed by repetition.

Les Rallizes Dénudés - December's Black Children

obscure (but influential and awesome) japanese noise rock with simple chord progression and insane feedback and vocals... its hard to explain, really.

warning to listener: beware, this music has a possible risk of making the listener high entirely through sound.

i... am not joking. 0_0

Fantômas - Suspended Animation

uhh whattt?

mike patton strikes again(!)

Ground Zero - Revolutionary Pekinese Opera Version 1.28

japanese harsh-noise/sound-collage/free-improvisation band. there hasn't been any harsh noisy music on here for a while (if ever), so i think its about time that i introduce some non-melodic music to you all :)

dont blow your speakers out... a rule of thumb when listening to noise music, whether your medium be studio monitors, 200 dollar headphones, or a cheap pair of ipod buds, is that you should start with the volume on 0 and slowly move up until it is at a comfortable level, being sure to leave headroom in case there is anyone change in dynamics (when the music suddenly changes volume, which happens quite a bit in noise music)

heed my advice, i have messed up many speakers in my time i have spent listening (and making!) to this sort of music, i know better ;)

ps the youtube video below is one of the least noisy tracks on the album, don't get this album and expect to be treated to an (easily) understandable melody/beat throughout!

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

no comment (<3)

Boris - Amplifier Worship

some of the most distorted, droning, noisy sludge/doom metal on the planet. boris is well known for changing styles pretty much every time they release something, and this release is well known for its heavily distorted, droning guitar, death metal style growling and screaming, and the odd noisy synth and polyrhythm drum beat thrown in for good measure. just listen for yourself :)

Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun

i love boredoms. a nice mix of tribal drumming, minimalism, and noise, of course. beautifully done audio manipulation and filtering, along with great composition, makes this album stand out as one of their best.

just a note on track labeling: every song in this album (but the last track) is named a symbol. neat :3

OOIOO - Gold & Green

all-girl japanese space rock, with a good sense of rhythm and noise influences. nice mixture of cute, cheery, trippy, and melodic, it makes me happy :3
